Sunday Sabbath

I've been trying to intentionally set aside Sunday as a day I don't do housework, homework, or other "work."  So far, it has been rather successful.

It was difficult to not worry about when I'd get things done during the day on Sunday.  But, as time has gone on, I am better at setting these things aside.  I also find that I have to focus on getting things done on Friday or Saturday that I would otherwise have let slide until Sunday (which lead to a scramble to get it done before Monday).

With this process, I am also trying to be intentional with what I do with the time - spending some of it in prayer, devotional reading etc.  It is very relaxing to have the day to do whatever: walk, rest, read a book, be creative or spend time with friends and family.

I am trying not to get legalistic with it either - I realize at some point, I may be forced to do homework or other things on a Sunday.  But I think the experience over all is worthwhile.
